Feeding The Gluten Gal – by Susie

My sister – the Gluten Gal – was coming for a family dinner. We were doing meat on the grill, along with salads, fruit, baked beans, etc. For dessert, I had pie and ice cream, but also wanted a gluten-free dessert. I picked up a Betty Crocker gluten-free cake mix at the store and planned to make the frosting Larraine told us about in a post.

Then I thought, why not make something a little more special? I went to the Betty Crocker site and found recipes that use the gluten-free mixes. I decided on Pineapple Upside Down Cake. It turned out so pretty and tasted delicious! Many of the guests tried it and were surprised at how moist and yummy it was.

(Note: Larraine also eats casein-free, so I used shortening with a dash of salt instead of butter in the recipe.)
